Although I wasn't a big fan of Mr. Doctorow's novels (found them historically inaccurate -- somewhat far-fetched and much too politically liberal for my taste), may he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

For his 33-year run, Mr. Gradgrind NEVER watched one show...And, guess what? He never felt culturally deprived.
PS: By the way, he has an aversion for narcissism and sophomoric humor (as well as phony liberalism). View Comment
